CHURN.

T o all whom it muy concern:

Be it known that I, D. T. W'ARD, of Mansfield, in the county of Richlandand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inOhurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing and arranging theseveral parts of this churn in the manner hereinafter set forth.

In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, A,represents a square churn box, which is constructed in any of the knownways and made of any suitable size.

B, represents the dasher staff, which is provided atits upper end with awheel F, which is provided with teeth and which gears into a toothedwheel E. The wheel E, is secured upon a shaft H, which has its bearingsin an adjustable or movable upright G, and a standard a, upon an arm d,secured to said upright Gr. The dasher staff is revolved by means of thewheels E, and F, as is clearly seen when motion is communicated to themthrough crank shaft H. Upon the lower end of the staff B, is secured adisk or wheel C, which is constructed in the peculiar manner shown inthe figures its rim being serrated and the material of which it is madebeing cut away near the rim from the face to the under side so as toform a series of wedge shaped projections as it were.

Secured upon the upper face of the disk,

is a wide rim or collar D. This collar rests upon the disk, between thewedged shaped projections, and a series of openings s, s, through thedisk. The holes s, s, are cut through the disk in an inclined, orslanting manner as is shown-the inclination on the face of the diskbeing adverse to the inclination of the wedged shaped projections. Vhenthis disk and rim, or collar are revolved rapidly the milk is cut andagitated by the projections on the disk, and also is given an upwardtendency by them. It is thrown into the collar D, and passes out at theopenings s, s, s. Thus a constant stream or current is produced from theout to the inside of the collar and vice versa. The butter remains andis gathered in the collar while the milk as has been stated passes outat the openings s, 8, s.

I am aware that currents have been formed before hence and I do notclaim suoli; but,

Having thus fully described my invention, what claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is The disk or wheel C, constructed asdescribed and in connection therewith the rim or collar D, arranged inthe manner and used for the purpose herein specified.
